A rash of despicable attacks on Jews in the Northeast has brought long overdue attention to burgeoning anti-Semitism. Several high-visibility attacks committed by black perpetrators have demonstrated the multifaceted nature of anti-Semitism, which left-wing politicians have previously claimed is practiced solely by right-wing white nationalists.

Between Dec. 23 and 27, eight anti-Semitic attacks targeted Jewish citizens of New York during the eight-day celebration of Hanukkah. Four alleged attackers include two black women, one black male, and one white male.
